Seabiscuit (3) - 13 April 2016

14 Apr 2016 1 119
'Seabiscuit' (1971) by Gidon Graetz, bronze. This sculpture, by an artist better known for his abstract work, stands outside The Shops at Tanforan, a mall on the site of the Tanforan Racetrack which closed in 1964 after a fire. The surroundings today, as the picture shows, are busy and urban, but I felt a sense of history at the location. Seabiscuit (1933-1947) raced with spectacular success from 1936 to 1940 although he lost his first 17 races. 200_2_P1090719
